Norman Osborn (Earth-96283)

From The Codex
(Redirected from Green Goblin (Earth-96283))

I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. Why bother?
~ Norman to Peter

You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.
~ Norman to Peter

Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city, and those teaming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional onto their shoulders. You, me. We're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now. But I'm offering you a choice. Join me, imagine what we could accomplish together. What we could create. Or we could destroy. Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battles again, again, and again until we're both dead. Is that what you want? THINK ABOUT IT, HERO!
~ Norman to Peter

You're pathetically predictable. Like a moth to the flame. What about my generous proposal!? Are you in, or are you out?
~ Norman to Peter

The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water sprout. Down came the goblin, and took the spider out!
~ Goblin singing

Spider-Man! This is why only fools are heroes, because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love. Or suffer the little children. Make your choice Spider-Man, and see how a hero is rewarded.
~ Norman to Peter

We are who we choose to be. Now choose!
~ Norman

Misery misery misery, that's what you've chosen. I offered you friendship, and spat in my face.
~ Norman to Peter

You've spun your last web, Spider-Man. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would've been quick and painless, but now that you've pissed me off, I'm gonna finish her nice... and slow. MJ and I, we're gonna have a hell of a time!
~ Norman

God speed, Spider-Man.
~ Norman to Peter

Avenge me!
~ Norman to Harry

Out, am I!?
~ Norman

Cardinality: Varies

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Varies (It is directly noted in "The End", there is a balance between good and evil where even when evil grows stronger, heroes will also grow stronger and even come back from the dead if need be to stop the new evils, keeping a balance between good and evil[1]. Thor has noted that a ones strength is relative to the need for it, if he has to he can stand on Jupiter, he can stand on anything if the need is great and the cause is just, as can anyone else, not being measured by strength nor raw power but rather measured by what they do[2]. It is noted by Stan Lee in response to the questions of "who would win in a fight?" is the person the writer decides to win[3], with the meta aspect of Marvel Comics being acknowledged[4]), usually City District level (His bombs can vaporize 6 people, and are generally around this level. Can severely harm Spider-Man and momentarily overpowered him). Far Higher with Resolve (Heroes are noted to be able to defy all logic and reason, to find some hidden well of strength and resolve allowing them to break through things they shouldn't be able to[5], Mephisto directly notes that a hero can reach deep into themself and find untapped reserves of strength that allows them to "lift the impossible weight"[6]. It is shown in "HOW TO READ COMICS THE MARVEL WAY #4", Spider-Man notes how when he has to call upon all of the inner strength within himself[7]. Spider-Man noted how when he knew he couldn't let Aunt May down he reached deep inside of himself and do the impossible and do anything to save the ones he loves[8]. Thor just having a motivational speech from Peter Parker amplifies him to easily defeat M.Y.T.H.O.S.[9], when he couldn't beat him beforehand[10]. Conan noted that the human will can be greater than any physical strength, even sorcery[11]. When Morlun was about to kill Spider-Man, he remembered his friends and family and got a resolve boost to start overpowering him[12]. The Thing through his heart alone when he was about to turn back into Ben Grimm was able to beat The Hulk in one punch who he admitted was stronger then him[13]. When Spider-Man in the first Sam Raimi movies loved ones are endangered Peter becomes far more powerful being capable of completely stomping someone who was previously stomping him[14]. Raimi Spider-Man in Marvel Cinematic Universe was originally defeated by Green Goblin, and in their next fight when completely angered, easily beat him down and was going to kill him if Raimi Spider-Man didn't stop him)
